Push GitHub Developer Leads to SmartReach

SmartReach is a cold email and multichannel outreach platform used by SDR teams to run personalized sequences at scale. When you connect it to GitLeads, you get a pipeline that captures developers showing GitHub buying signals and automatically routes them into your SmartReach campaigns — no CSV exports, no manual list building, no stale contact data.

Why Connect GitLeads to SmartReach

• Real-time lead delivery — new GitHub signals push to SmartReach immediately, not in weekly CSV batches
• Signal context in every record — the repo starred or keyword matched travels with the lead for personalized outreach
• No list purchases — every lead is a developer who actively signaled interest on GitHub
• Enriched profiles — name, email, company, GitHub username, top languages, and bio included with each lead
• Multichannel ready — SmartReach supports email and LinkedIn; GitLeads provides the data for both channels

How the GitLeads → SmartReach Integration Works

1. GitLeads detects a new signal: a developer stars a tracked repo or triggers a keyword match in a GitHub issue
2. GitLeads enriches the profile: GitHub username, email, company, bio, follower count, top languages, signal context
3. GitLeads fires a webhook to your configured endpoint with the full enriched lead payload
4. Your webhook handler (or Zapier/Make/n8n middleware) calls the SmartReach Prospects API
5. SmartReach enrolls the prospect in the relevant campaign based on signal type or detected language

SmartReach API Integration Example

// Webhook handler: GitLeads → SmartReach
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
  const lead = await req.json();

  const prospect = {
    email: lead.email,
    first_name: lead.name?.split(' ')[0] ?? '',
    last_name: lead.name?.split(' ').slice(1).join(' ') ?? '',
    company: lead.company ?? '',
    custom_fields: {
      github_username: lead.githubUsername,
      signal_context: lead.signalContext,
      top_language: lead.topLanguages?.[0] ?? '',
      github_url: `https://github.com/${lead.githubUsername}`,
    },
  };

  await fetch('https://api.smartreach.io/api/v1/prospects', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'x-api-key': process.env.SMARTREACH_API_KEY!,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      prospect,
      campaign_id: Number(process.env.SMARTREACH_CAMPAIGN_ID),
    }),
  });

  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}

Personalizing SmartReach Sequences with GitHub Signal Data

• Use the starred repo name in the opening line: "Saw you starred {repo} last week..."
• Reference the developer's top language in the value proposition to show stack-level relevance
• Include the GitHub profile URL as context for SDRs to review before sending
• Route different signal types to different SmartReach campaigns (stargazers vs keyword matches)
• Use follower count to qualify leads before enrollment — high-follower developers get priority sequences

No-Code Alternative: Zapier or Make

If you prefer no-code automation, GitLeads supports native webhooks that connect to Zapier or Make (formerly Integromat). From there, use the SmartReach Zapier integration to push prospects directly into campaigns. The GitLeads webhook payload includes all enriched fields, and Zapier field-mapping handles SmartReach prospect creation without writing any code.
